Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Nants ingonyama bagithi baba

Sithi uhm ingonyama

('Ngonyama 'ngengw'ebo!)

Mai ba bo, ha! Ingonyama baba!

[Verse 2]

Nants ingonyama bagithi baba

Sithi uhm ingonyama

('Ngonyama 'ngengw'ebo!)

Oh! Khusani bo!

Pegi Akalela! (Eshe!)

[Verse 3]

Nants ingonyama bagithi baba

Sithi uhm ingonyama

Ingonyama

Ingonyama

Ingonyama

Ingonyama

[Verse 4]

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

[Verse 5]

Ta-na-na-na-na

Ta-na-na-na-na-na!

Ta-na-na-na-na

[Verse 6]

From the day we arrive on this planet

And blinking, step into the sun

There is more to see than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done

There is far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high

Through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round

[Verse 7]

It's the circle of life

And it moves us all

Through despair and hope

Through faith and love

Till we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the circle

The circle of life

[Verse 8]

It's the circle of life (Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)

And it moves us all (Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)

Through despair and hope (Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)

Through faith and love (Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)

Till we find our place (Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)

On the path unwinding (Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)

In the circle (Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)

The circle of life (Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)
